A number of Algerians have
launched a campaign on the internet social networks Twitter and Facebook
calling for the boycott of Lebanese singer Fadel Shaker and banning him from
holding or taking part in musical performances in Algeria. The campaign was
created after Fadel made public statements about Algerian prominent singer
Warda saying she should resign and wear the Islamic headdress hijab.

Fadel had recently made harsh
statements about a number of singers among who was Warda. Fadel had said that
Warda should respect her age and her prestigious history by resigning.

According to the internet website
MBC.net, despite the fact that Warda did not make any public reply to Fadel’s
remarks, her fans in Algeria decided to answer him back in their own way. Warda’s
fans said that all recent attacks against Warda in the recent period are
unjustified and are meaningless.
